5 Random, but Important Lessons From 60s Batman

The 1966 Batman live action is known for how goofy it is. Despite how campy the ipakita was it had lots of genuine puso and great lessons.

1. Women can be crime fighters.

During the 1960s women were still not treated with proper respect. Thankfully the show's wonderful creator, William Dozier, helped things out sa pamamagitan ng adding a female crime fighter to the show's third season: Batgirl. A lot of the show's female characters were easily tricked sidekicks to the male bad guys. The female sidekicks were a parody of what unfair men thought of women back in the past. Batgirl came along in the show's third season. She wasn't a parody or a goofball. She was a hard working, cool, and inspiring woman. She was a far bigger help to Batman than the Boy Wonder and the silly Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara. Although Batman underestimated Batgirl's importance because of her gender he learned to realize that women are just as cool as men.

2. Being ligtas while surfing is important even if you're in a surfing contest.

This lesson may seem like a joke, because it comes from such a silly episode. However the lesson is seriously important. In a season 3 episode Batman and the Joker had a surfing contest. The Joker didn't bother to be careful while surfing. His reckless behavior almost led to him getting killed sa pamamagitan ng a shark. Being ligtas is madami important than any surfing contest. While surfing be careful. In fact I would recommend not surfing at all to avoid sharks. pating Repellent Bat Spray doesn't exist so be careful while in the ocean.

3. Lying to others is wrong.

The ipakita proved that lying was wrong in the two parter where Batman and ibong dagat were in the election to be Gotham's mayor. ibong dagat managed to charm the crowd with his lies. However Batman proves that honesty is better. Lying may seem like the write thing to do in order to make people feel ligtas or to make a point, but it actually messes things up. The truth can seem like a hard thing to reveal at times. Thankfully Adam West's Batman shows off honesty in a positive light sa pamamagitan ng being optimistic no matter how rough things really get.

4. Being good is better than being evil.

This may be the most obvious lesson ever, but the ipakita did a lovely job at proving it. Batman, Robin, and Batgirl used their moral values, dedication to justice, and strength to constantly save Gotham. Even though it felt like a new criminal showed up in Gotham every week the bayani never gave up on their flawed city. They made the city a ligtas and wonderful place. Although the criminals had lots of fun being immature jerks they have to spend most of their time paying for their crimes in prison. Batman, Robin, and Batgirl are beloved sa pamamagitan ng the city and always get thanked for the amazing things that they do.

5. Adam West was a true hero.
